Scott AbelThe Content Wrangler

Bernard is often ranked as one of the best speakers at our industry
conferences. His wonderful sense of humor combined with his sparkling
personality, make him a popular presenter and a welcome addition to any
technical publications, XML, or content management event.
Bernard is also an accomplished consultant, author of technical books
and papers, and much more.

John PosadaPresident/Program ChairNew York STC Community

As President and Programs Chairperson of the NY chapter of STC, I
brought Bernard in to speak to the chapter and to demonstrate some
advanced authoring tools appropriate for the group. His presentation
was professional, timely, informative, and realistic, He presented
productivity tips and tricks that the vendor never showed us and was
honest about the software's capabilities and limitations.
He is also author of a book on one of my main applications (XMetal) to
which I refer almost daily.
I would recommend Bernard both as a speaker and a consultant..

Don WhiteConference DirectorJames River STC Community

Bernard spoke at both of our regional technical communication
conferences, in 2004 and 2005. He is a wonderful person and
professional with whom I was honored to work. He knows his stuff and,
what's equally important, he knows how to present it to anyone or any
group. He instinctively understands and gains the empathy of his
audience, regardless of their comparative technical backgrounds and
levels of experience.
